Birkenhead - Derby day return

[175001]

Evening.

I want to do a Birkenhead Hamilton Square - Derby day return on Saturday, with the outbound leg via Crewe. But i'd like to return via Sheffield.
Is this possible on a CDR @ £26.00 with a YPR?

I've worked out all the singles possible and it comes to £35, but is it possible to come back via the Stockport route point on a CDR?

Thanks in advance!

As far as I can see, yes. Birkenhead is a member of Liverpool Group and one of the maps is PS which shows a route via Sheffield & Stockport: http://www.atoc.org/rsp/_downloads/Routeing_Guide/maps/map_ps.htm

The £26 ticket is a SVR.

The journey planners are suggesting going via Sheffield and Crewe for some journeys on Saturday to avoid rail replacement buses in central Liverpool, eg.
17:11 Derby - Sheffield 17:44
18:10 Sheffield - Stockport 18:53
19:04 Stockport - Crewe 19:27
19:50 Crewe - Chester 20:12
20:30 Chester - Birkenhead Hamilton Square 21:06

Hope valley is the Sheffield - Stockport part

or, to be even more precise, Grindleford to just west of Edale. Was a great route to do on a HST back in 'Project Rio' days!

I find going on a line with great scenery when you can't open a window is very frustrating, and even more so when you consider car drivers are not similarly restricted (double standards as always). But we're in danger of going off topic now... but yeah, it's a nice stretch of line.
